Sussman on a different curse: lisp is its own operating system. Programmer's don't want to leave it, so they have not been motivated to make/use external APIs. But doesn't win at this interop game? @reClojure

Somewhere between the lisp, the emacs, and the free software exhortation, I have come to really like Gerald Sussman. At least on a tech/computer science level.

Let it be written: Sussman's favorite piece of software of all time is @reClojure

Being enlightened by @reClojure Sussmas's presentation, except...

Sussman thought of programming as being an expressive medium like poetry, prose... reminiscent of Larry Wall's linguistic inspiration for Perl. Scheme is arguably a better-designed thing, though... @reClojure

Only 30 minutes to go before the closing keynote for re:Clojure 2021 by Gerald Jay Sussman. Live stream here: youtube.com/watch?v=8q8110rRTC. Hope to see you there! .

Between whatever Markus Kloimwieder's cljtiles and @ella_hoeppner Vlojure, we have some absolutely excellent learning tools at our finger-tips. I think I will use these for myself to master linear algebra. Can I wrap Neanderthal? @reClojure

"Turn to Matlab or Python for solving differentials? How about solving them in ?" The elevator pitch I've been waiting for! @reClojure @Tovieye And it can output LaTeX, too! github.com/sicmutils/sicmutils

Brilliant talks from @quoll and @ericnormand. Thank you both! Next up, we have Ashima Panjwani talking about github.com/scicloj/viz.clj, a data visualization library, followed by @metasoarous talking about github.com/compdemocracy/polis.

"Hey, he's using the same example from a book I've been reading!" Oh, wait... he wrote that book manning.com/books/grokking-sim @ericnormand @reClojure

👀 on @quoll discussing datalog vs sql, a topic I've thought much about @reClojure

RT @reClojure
Following on from today's lunchtime break, we will have @quoll focusing on Datalog (14:00 UTC), then after that we have @ericnormand on the Art of Domain Modelling (14:30 UTC).

"DON'T PROFILE or BENCHMARK at the beginning. Build your application!" soothes the performance paranoia. Thanks @BSless! @reClojure

Discussion of discrete vs continuous systems and the exciting possibilites of github.com/leonoel/missionary is really resonating with my research interests in narrative systems! @36Rleonoel @reClojure
